Rating: ★★★★★ 

Andrew’s Warhammer Gold Guide is currently the only gold-making specific guide on the market. Killerguides and Goblins guide both have chapters talking about making gold, which are quite fine however not as detailed as Andrew’s guide.

There’s 35 pages of real strategies you can actually use regardless of your career. Some are only useful if you’re rank 40, but there’s enough even for those who just started with Warhammer Online. Although it’s not THAT hard to make gold in Warhammer, it’s nice being able to buy whatever item you want or powerlevel your professions without having to grind all the mats. You’ll have more than enough gold for both of those, and that’s the point anyway.

With Andrew’s gold guide, you can make over 100 gold each day, and if you decide to buy that from the goldselling companies and risk your account, you can get less than 200 gold for the price of this guide. Which one do you think is better? That’s a screenshot from an actual gold selling website, and you’re welcome to check the prices yourself on any website.

Gold making chapter in Goblin’s guide also covers some of the strategies described in Andrew’s gold guide, and since you’re getting so many bonuses with Goblins guide I’d recommend buying it rather than Andrew’s. However, if you’re only interested in making gold in Warhammer Andrew’s guide will do more than fine.

Andrew’s Ultimate Warhammer Gold Guide

Hey readers, I hope you’re having a blast leveling up in Warhammer Online. I sure am, working on my third character now with two already at rank 40. I hardly have any time at all to play lately but some of these guides are simply amazing. I’m currently leveling with Ashling’s guide which I also recommend and you wouldn’t believe how incredibly smooth and painless it is.

I also updated my Ashling’s guide review to include the recent addition: a complete RvR guide, featuring all scenarios, Warcamp quests and character builds. It sure is another welcome incentive to get the guide, and you’re welcome to read more about it on Ashling’s website.

Anyway, to cut to the chase, I’ve added a page where you can compare Warhammer leveling guides easily, and I really hope it will help make your decision easier. There’s five guides spotlighted there, and you can clearly see the features of each one. Again, it’s obvious Ashling’s guide is a winner, but if for some reason you want to get another guide that chart should help you a lot.

If you still haven’t downloaded a Warhammer leveling guide, you don’t know what you’re missing. Take some time, read my guide reviews, compare them with my new chart and go have some fun!

Guide name: Primagames Warhammer Online Strategy Guide

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ 

Primagames’ Warhammer Online Strategy guide is one of those guides you never ever want to buy. Really, I’m serious. Clerks usually ask you half a dozen times at Gamestop and other stores if you would like to buy it with your copy of whatever game you’re buying, including Warhammer Online. I should note, yes this is the guide being advertised on the official War website!

First of all, there’s also Atlas, another guide for Warhammer by Primagames which is supposed to have all the instances, public quest locations and maps in general. Well, the Strategy guide has that too, so if for some obscure reason you still want to buy it, at least don’t waste your money on both of the guides.

Second, these guides are outdated. There’s patches and updates to Warhammer being added almost on a daily basis, and since these guides are hard copies they are never updated (ok ok, there is an online .PDF version but it’s not updated anyway). All the guides I reviewed so far have free lifetime updates and the downloads are free for as many times as you want. Also, the authors are very quick to respond to the latest changes made so you always have the most up-to-date guide.

But enough talk about other guides: you’re probably wondering already why this one sucks so much. Unlike in other leveling guides, the maps in Primagames’ guide show you absolutely nothing you can’t discover yourself. Ashling’s, Penn’s, hell almost every other guide has detailed maps with quest locations and secret or hard to reach areas which you normally don’t discover unless you’re really fond of exploring. And yes, most of those locations are worth seeing! Primagames’ guide will only show the maps you can see in-game (or on various websites for that matter).

On another note, this is supposed to be a strategy guide, yet it talks mostly about RvR, and does a very poor job at that too. It tells you basics like you should cast heals if you’re a healer. Duh! There’s really no value in this. Scenario guides might help you if you’re really really new to the whole concept, but the info you’ll get from this guide can be learned in five minutes or less by playing one.

Here’s an excerpt from the shaman guide to give you some idea:

Me offensive spells iz so damaging dey iz hot. Get back all your pointies, I’s gonnashow you me real power. No worries me Destruction buddies, we Shamans will keep you alive wif our healing. Shamans wif da help of almighty Mork can cast powerful healing spells fer one target or da whole group. Dats our main role iz to support da group an’ keep dem healthy. Shamans get range too. No needs to be up close an’ smell dem stinky stunty breath. Cast dem spells from long range.

There’s also a chapter about careers, which is actually not that shabby, if not for the fact it’s outdated. It shows you a comparison of morale abilities, tactics and mastery paths, but did I mention it’s outdated?

To clear up any possible confusion and doubts, I’ll say it again: this thing costs $24,99 and it’s nearly worthless! If you want a really good leveling guide, get Ashling’s Leveling Guide, and if you’re up for a strategy guide grab yourself a copy of Killerguides Warhammer Strategy guide and drool!

Steve Ferris plays Warhammer Online ever since closed beta. He’s a veteran MMO player with years of experience in other online games, and appears to enjoy leveling characters even more than I do. He recently decided to share some of his tricks in his Warhammer Elite powerleveling guide, by providing a complete blueprint to leveling all the way to rank 40 with both Order and Destruction.

His leveling path is close to what you can find in Ashling’s leveling guide (which is a bit better in my opinion). However, it does have certain unique elements which makes the guide special in its own sort of way.

As far as I can tell, all quests and tiers are covered for both Order and Destruction. Steve guarantees you will level up to rank 40 in 8 days, but depending on how much you play each day, it might even be done faster.

The guide has over 200 pages full of leveling routes, quest locations, detailed maps, screenshots… All quests and quest items are linked to WarDB.com for easy reference, although with his clear instructions you’ll rarely need it.

Ashling’s guide is still number one in my book, but if you’re looking for a (more than) decent alternative, Penn’s and Steve’s will do just fine.

This is certainly one of the most detailed leveling guides out there. Not only does it have “the usual” leveling paths and quest walkthroughs found in other leveling guides, but also a bunch of other useful tips and tricks of the trade, like how to take advantage of the killing spree bonuses, gain more renown and experience in various scenarios, how to easily get more contribution points on public quests, hidden grinding spots, the list goes on.

Killerguides guide got a 4/5 rating as a leveling guide, but what’s special about it is that this leveling guide is much more than a leveling guide. It’s a complete strategy guide for Warhammer Online, and it includes various other chapters. My favorite chapter is surely the one about making gold: although not as detailed as the guide I’ll review in a few days, it will certainly be useful to everyone. It gives you a ton of strategies on making gold in War, from playing the auction house (which items can often be bought for low prices and resold for higher), grinding, and making gold with tradeskills/professions.

There’s also a chapter about mastery builds for each career. Although it’s prone to change with various patches coming out all the time, the guild is often updated to reflect the new changes. There’s quite a few builds in there, and while it may not be the best ones, it will most certainly give you a lot of insight on how some of them work.

The RvR chapter includes detailed strategies and tactics you can use when fighting against your opponents. This is THE guide to read if you want to learn about other career weaknesses and strengths, and it’s not something you can find on the average blog or forum about Warhammer Online.

Other chapters were less useful to me, but might be of use to some of you: includes equipment lists and recommendations, Tome of Knowledge unlocks, tradeskills guide and several other.

I definitely recommend getting this guide. It’s worth your bandwidth and will deliver everything you hope for!

I got Stephen’s leveling guide about a week after Penn’s and Ashlings, so perhaps I was a little spoiled and expected too much from it. It’s not the best guide out there, but it’s far from useless.

Pretty much all the quests are covered as far as I can tell. At the time when I got it, it was nearly finished so there were some information missing, but Stephen added it a few days later so it’s pretty much done now. All chapters, ranks and tiers are now covered for both Order and Destruction, and if you decide to download it and level up with Stephen’s path, you won’t be making a mistake. Although his methods are a bit unorthodox, it does work quite well and his guide really does help greatly in leveling.

Stephen’s leveling guide also includes maps of all areas, which include chapter quests, warcamps and public quests.

His leveling path does include doing RvR scenarios, so that’s yet another bonus. You’ll be doing it occasionally, unless you want to resort to grinding mobs every few levels.
